117. I Never Will Turn Back

Chorus:
While the heaven's in my view,
And the glory's in my soul;
I never will turn back,
While the heaven's in my view.

1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name? [Chorus]

2 Are there no foes for me to face,
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God? [Chorus]

3 Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word. [Chorus]
